I have two problems with these charts:

1. The Y-axis of "reliability" (or some combination of reliability, accountability, etc) means that the X-axis placements is bad for unreliable sources. If someone is just printing ludicrous garbage, how are you going to rate their conservatism correctly (lewrockwell.com, infowars)? Maybe they're just out-and-out lying.

2. Putting WSJ as "leans right" shows that the entire chart is skewed. Or "thehill" as centrist ("thehill" publisher's wife worked for Melania Trump). Take your pick.
